In this eye-opening episode of PCOS Unfiltered, I welcome back functional medicine practitioner and author Dr. Anya Szigeti to discuss her upcoming book "Convenience Is Killing You." Together, we expose how “modern convenience” has quietly reshaped women’s health—from ultra-processed foods to sedentary living and chronic stress—and what we can do to reverse it. Dr. Anya shares her personal journey from following all the “healthy” diet rules that led to autoimmune illness, to redefining convenience through small, functional, real-life habits that heal. We explore the ripple effect of women reclaiming their nourishment, the wisdom of their grandmothers’ kitchens, and lessons from European lifestyles where food is still a ritual, not a race. You will walk away inspired to make simple, doable shifts—like cooking one real meal a week, reclaiming movement, and creating true nourishment for body, mind, and hormones—without guilt or perfectionism.
